Afternoon Play: The Bookmaker

Mon 2nd Jun 2003, 14:15 on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Sarah Woods

A drama-documentary following one day in the life of a Coventry betting shop. 

What makes people put their hard-earned money on horses and dogs? Do they real ly believe they can beat the bookie? 

An affectionate and revealing glimpse behind the scenes of a High Street institution that most people know little about.

Songs by Nick Hall and Sarah Woods, performed by Nick Hall and Mark Standbridge.

Producer Peter Leslie Wild
